It cites traditional Sikh and Muslim sources as agreeing on the account that Gobind was killed by sons of a Pathan horse dealer in revenge for Gobind killing their father over a purchasing disagreement.

Request edit to appropriate replace names of armies

The wars section refers to the wars that guru fought against the islamic armies. The term islam and Hinduism should be appropriately used and not to hint the wars as "fought against a religion" rather the names of states, armies, or authorities should be used to refer to their allegiance.

Ps.

Guru's wars were a method of self preservation. He did not use it to fight against any specific religion as shown by his act of not harming any religious buildings or communities.

The use of religion to associate to an army fighting for a state and not for a religious motive should be used more appropriately. 39.61.152.74 (talk) 08:42, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Um Y'all serious Rn or smth?

Guru Gobind Singh Ji was the first Sikh guru, not the 10th, and he helped create the religion but wasn't part of it yet. I barely even read anything and still realised that it was wrong, as a part of the punjabi community i would like to change the lies and pour in the truth, thank you. 2001:56A:F4C4:600:D4:DACC:EF5:2C80 (talk) 20:37, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. — kashmīrī ^TALK 21:22, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Guru Gobind Singh's Wives

Gobind Singh was married only once and had all four sons from his wife, Mata Sundari Ji. Sundri ji had a nickname before marriage and then her mother-in-law gave her name "Sundri" after marriage lovingly. This has caused confusion among writers of that period. Then Mata Sahib Kaur was given title "Mother of Khalsa" by Guruji later on. She was not married to Guruji. She wanted to serve his cause and was included in same circle. 198.208.47.93 (talk) 14:57, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Guru sahib's wife

Guru sahib has one wife : Mata sundari ji , who was earlier known as mata ajeet (jeeto) ji. Mata sahib Kaur is the mother of khalsa and not guru sahib's wife. Please 2604:3D09:6C82:7A00:F093:FB8:E549:EBAE (talk) 02:30, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
